तपस्विभ्योऽधिको योगी
ज्ञानिभ्योऽपि मतोऽधिकः।
कर्मिभ्यश्चाधिको योगी
तस्माद्योगी भवार्जुन ।। ६.४६ ।।

karmibhyaścādhiko yogī
tasmād-yogī bhavārjuna || 6.46 ||

He concludes:

Yogi excels the usual ascetics. He equally excels the Vedic scholars. He excels even the rituals and likewise performers. Therefore, O Arjuna, become a yogi, take to the yoga-sadhana, by all means.

Asceticism has its merits. Austere life is no doubt good and great. Vedic study and practice too have their status and supremacy to offer. Rituals do carry their religious sublimity with them. So too good and benevolent actions cannot be discounted. They have the power to bestow purity to the performer. But all this apart, samya-yoga (the yoga of equal vision) alone is the supreme and the best. It anoints the mind with so much peace, wisdom and freedom that the mind does not want to covet anything here or hereafter. It enriches, fulfils and crowns human life with excellence, exemplariness and enlightenment.

For Arjuna and also for all seekers at all times and at all places, Krishna’s ultimate dictum is: tasmad yogi bhava - Therefore, become a yogi.
